IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended
fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract
moisture, which
leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See "Storage"
on page 13. Never
use engine or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
